Lyrics
0:34If you can talk you can sing
0:35If you can walk you can dance
0:38That's an old proverb from Zimbabwe
0:42You know what I mean
0:44If you can talk you can sing
0:45If you can walk you can dance
0:48Yeah and the trumpet is blown
0:57Yeah alright c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
1:07Alright
1:19Yeah yeah yeah uh one more time
1:31Yo anybody can tell you how it is
1:34What we putting down right here is
1:35How it is and how it could be
1:38Reflection Eternal for real
1:40And with that
1:41These cats is no match
1:41Plus they lack a certain knack for rapping
1:43Chasing but they never catch the wagon
1:45Like rerunning what's hap'ning
1:45Since back when
1:47They had potty issues and snotty tissues
1:49We been rockin'
1:49Think you poppin' next year nobody will miss you
1:51My thoughts is too advanced
1:53For the artists on these labels
1:54They come sweeter than sabal
1:55And softer than mashed potatoes
1:56I tried to told you
1:57The rhymes run over emcees like Land Rovers
1:59Took 'em back in time like Sankofa Sankofa
2:02We stand over the Atlantic
2:03Looking broad like a man's shoulders
2:04The fire is trapped in a belly
2:06Ready to pop like canned soda
2:08We outlasting from middle passage
2:09Touched down in New York
2:10Cincinnatay Big Ohio status what you thought
2:12Money it's classic
2:13These bastards try to treat us like cattle
2:15So life has been a constant battle battle
2:17Rising above the crabs in the barrel
2:18Way too used to living in death's shadow
2:20We stay on point like the best arrow arrow
2:22We hit the target accurate star sh*t back it up
2:24When we hit town y'all niggas pack it up
2:26That's how we get down straight smash it up
2:28Like a whip hydro planning
2:29Hydro on the brain and maintaining
2:30Game changing into subtle sh*t we remain blatant
2:33Yo got to tell you to your face
2:35You get replaced in this game by Kweli
2:37Place the face with the name
2:38These cats drink champagne
2:39And toast to death and pain
2:41Like slaves on a ship talking
2:42About who got the fliest chain
3:35Yo we the reflection of our ancestors
3:36We'd like to thank you for
3:38The building blocks you left us
3:39'Cause your spirit possessed us
